The Haunting Inside Of Me

Learning The Truth
I woke up in a strange place. No lights or anything in this room.
"Sharpay?" A voice said.
"Who's that?" I asked.
"It's me Troy" He said.
"Where am I?" I asked.
"You're in my basement".
A figure was standing in front of me staring at me. I was pretty sure it was Troy.
"Do you remember anything?" He asked.
I shook my head. "No".
"You and Tess were hanging out in your room and all of the sudden you fell to the ground". Troy started to say. "Tess got worried and called my dad who is a doctor, to come. He came over and you were perfectly normal, but…"
"But… what?" I asked.
"You claimed to be a young girl name Mary-lee Jones. You had said that you had to stop Mr. Thomas before he got to your parents".
"What?" I asked. "Who the hell are you talking about?" I asked.
"We were unsure too. Then all of the sudden you fell to the ground. My dad got worried and brought you here. He asked me to google this Mary-Lee Jones chick and see if she was related to you or something. It turns out Mary-Lee Jones was around 17. She lived in the 1880's were black people were still slaves. Her parents rich and own an gold mining. She was engaged to Philip Smith, and her best friend was Geoffrey Thomas. She had an affair with an black male, and was caught by her best friend Geoffrey Thomas. Who I believe was Mr. Thomas. Geoffrey was going to tell Mary-lee Jones's parents to when Mary-Lee killed him. She claimed that she wanted to stop him before he told her parents. A week later she was hung".
"So what are you telling me that I'm haunted by a ghost?"
"I believe so. My father thinks you need to stay here till he figures out what's wrong with you".
I stood there staring at him.
"Tess packed your things already".
"Why is this happening to me?" I asked.
Troy came over to me and put his hands around my waist.
"Sharpay, don't worry I promise you everything is going to be alright".
I kissed his cheek.
"I hope your right".
